(Verse)
AF#mED
I stayed awake just long enough to see you.
AF#mED
Remember Winnipeg? And feeling simpler back then?
AF#mED
I took a week off from my band and flew out.
AF#mEDE
It was a Saturday. I saw you waiting by the plane.
(Chorus)
F#mEDE
I was always in a way just a long shot.
F#mED
I was never in the clear of that.
F#mEDE
I am lucky just to be a potential.
F#mED
But I will always make a mess of that.
AF#mED
Of that
AF#mED
Of that
(Half Verse)
AF#mED
I traded symmetry for everything I loved.
AF#mED
I took my feelings out and I had told you I was done.
(Bridge)
DEF#mAD
I know your mistakes, does it bother you that
DEF#mAD
I found where they stay? Can I reach you yet?
DEF#mAD
I stood up so fast. And I let you down. It was the
DEF#mAD
first time that I heard, I that sound.
DEF#mAD
It filled my head with the darkest shade of black. And I met you there.
DEF#mADE
I realized then that I was just a little sad. And I left you there.
(Chorus)

I was always in a way just a long shot.
F#mED
I was never in the clear of that.

I am lucky just to be a potential.
